Also are Tic Tacs safe for celiacs?

The answer to your tic tac question can be found in the FAQ section on their website: Open Original Shared Link

Hate to sound harsh, but have you considered going cold turkey on the gum for awhile? Your profile indicates you have a number of unresolved stomach issues, and while gum cannot fairly be said to cause any of them, it certainly won't help either. Gum and mints are wholly processed Frankenstein creations. Chew on mint leaves or something instead.

Not harsh at all- i have been trying to cut out gum, but im so used to chewing on it that its difficult to go cold turkey. my mouth tends to get dry & pasty when i talk and i work with people so i always need to have my mouth moist otherwise it gets uncomfortable to speak

You might want to look into Biotene products. You should be able to find them in a drug store. They are supposed to help with dry mouth. My dentist gave me a sampler with mouthwash, toothpaste and a gel that you can use. I don't know all the ingredients but I do know it is gluten free.

According to the tic tac faq section some flavors have xylitol. Have you tried erythritol?

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
